Axis Mundi typically decided not to play by the rules. Instead of de rigeur nautical artifacts, floppy sofas and wicker furniture, the firm responded to Makoid’s all-white interior envelope by injecting rooms with comfortable modern elegance that’s more contemporary Cap Ferrat than Eastern Long Island. Clean furniture silhouettes—from Cassina, Poltrona Frau and B&B Italia—a Massimo Vitali beach scene, a Moooi chandelier and industrial finishes (such as the steel of the fireplace surround and the anodized aluminum of a sleek Bulthaup kitchen) spark a creative tension between indoors and out. The gray palette provides a quiet backdrop for the nature outside, except for the master suite, where custom oak panels and blue shades create a reassuring warmth conducive to sleep.

Merging traditional and contemporary design effortlessly can be a daunting architectural challenge; this Presidio Heights residence became a highly successful melding of the two aesthetics.The Living Room, contemporary Kitchen and configuration of the Master Bedroom represent hallmarks of the overall design, as well as the five remodeled Bathrooms. Structural rework and seismic upgrades helped transform and supplement the bones of the house.

Housed in a lovely and prestigious 19th century building on the rue de Verneuil, this one-bedroom pied-a-terre has been designed with obsessive attention to detail. A harmonious blend of the charm of old and the sleekness of new is successfully achieved. A chic, well-appointed, white lacquer kitchen rests on a beautiful old "parquet de Versailles" floor. Perfectly restored, smooth plaster walls frame the original wood wall beams. The overall feeling is sophisticated and beautiful.
